Guitarists spend the majority of their time playing rhythm guitar and very often encounter 1, 2 or 3 chord vamps where they’re supporting a vocalist or soloist who relies on the rhythm section, and guitarists, in particular, to keep the groove interesting for them and the audience as well.

Robben Ford’s Vamps & Jams edition of his Rhythm Revolution series is jam-packed with chord vocabulary, rhythmic ideas, and creative approaches for comping over 1, 2 or 3 chord vamps.

”Rhythm guitar is a great pleasure for me and quite frankly, you play a lot more of it than soloing. Over the years, I developed a style of playing based on really connecting with the rhythm section. Something the great bass player Abraham Laboriel said to me, when I was still evolving this style, was to "play like a drum." In this way, you're one with the drummer.

I’m excited to share many of my rhythm guitar ideas and approaches in this Vamps & Jams edition of Rhythm revolution. I’ve prepared 10 rhythm guitar performance studies to illustrate how I approach 1, 2 or 3 chord vamps to keep things interesting for the band and audience.”

Robben covers a wide range of techniques, rhythmic approaches, creative ideas and harmonic concepts across the 10 performance studies. As you work through the 10 studies Robben will demonstrate how he approaches locking up with the rhythm section and developing creative themes and rhythmic patterns.

You’ll learn a wide variety of the chords and different voicings that Robben uses in his playing including Miles Davis-inspired chord voicings, keyboard, and organ-like voicings. Robben demonstrates harmonic devices for crafting rhythm parts such as such as pentatonic movement, scalar movement, and chromatic movement.

For each of these 10 rhythm guitar studies, Robben will first perform the rhythm guitar parts and then demonstrate some of the key techniques and creative approaches that he used in the piece.

All of the performance studies are tabbed and notated for your practice, reference and study purposes. You’ll also get Guitar Pro files so that you can play, loop and/or slow down the tab and notation as you work through the lessons. Plus, Robben includes all of the backing tracks for you to work with on your own.

Grab your guitar and let’s jam on a vamp with Robben Ford!

nJoy!
